There is an old maxim 'CICO' put Crap In get Crap Out.

Just as the advert tells you:
                  "Just type in your name and let us guide you step by step"

No wonder there are so many mistakes from half hearted and misguided fools who don't check
any of the details and accept them as verbatim.

When I type my full name and year of birth in it tells me I don't exist  ???

It seems obvious to me if a company sells a product/service that is  not up to standard, then you don't purchase from them...........
So stop paying membership fees and you will see how quickly they clean up their act and stop advertising the nonsense they have accumalated in trees as part of their  "records"

My actual birth cert, birth notice from paper, baptism record, marriage record.  Although I couldn't prove I was still alive to a tree holder who has me dead.

Just had a look at one of the ancestors, born 1681, married 1698 in Northumberland.

Some of the hints are for New Zealand marriages 1800-1937, New Zealand Cemetery Records 1800-2007, New Zealand Death Records 1848-1966, and New Zealand Electoral Rolls 1853-1981

That means that for the earliest record in New Zealand, he would have been 119. Just possible I suppose, but.................................

PharmaT if nothing else family history leads you to have a sense of humour. 

My question is do you type in your birth name or married name?  ;D. With regulations in Australia I doubt I would exist either.
James -Victoria, Australia originally from Keynsham, Somerset.
Janes - Keynsham and Bristol area.
Heale/Hale - Keynsham, Somerset
Vincent - Illogan/Redruth, Cornwall.  Moved to Sculcoates, Yorkshire; Grass Valley, California; Timaru, New Zealand and Victoria, Australia.
Williams somewhere in Wales - he kept moving
Ellis - Anglesey
